Help with syncing scrievener

Hello everyone, I just got the aeontime line, it is beautiful btw.

I have still figuring out the software. I also use scrievener, I tried to sync between aeontimeline to scrievener ,but only timeline item type visible is locations. I dont know how to rest of my item groups timeline item :confused:

In my particular case, I created my outline in AT3 and, in the process, set up AT3 custom fields before creating my Scrivener project. Doing it this way has the benefit of having AT3 set up the chapters and scenes (from the outline) and custom metadata fields in Scrivener for me. It’s not for everyone, but I thought I would mention it in case you haven’t yet created your Scrivener project. For me, it saved having to gain a deeper understanding of how Scrivener works before getting started on the drafting itself. (The deeper understanding flows from the process of drafting, but at least I didn’t have to spend hours and days learning Scrivener before getting started.)

Others here will be able to offer you more help than I can, but in case it’s helpful, here are my AT3 sync settings:

I cannot see anything but location :confused:

Location corresponds to the “Location” folder in Scrivener. In my case, I don’t sync with this folder, as you can see from my screenshots. But you certainly can sync with it, if that’s your preference.

Understood. Someone with better expertise on AT3 will have to weigh in. Good luck!

Hey @onqun sorry for the delay in getting back to you.

One thing I noticed when looking at your screenshot above is that the Narrative folder is set to sync with your Research folder in Scrivener. Is that intentional?

Generally, it’s best to sync with the top-level folder in your binder, which could be the Manuscript or Draft.

Another thing to check is that both these boxes, next to the People item type, are unchecked. It won’t show up as an option to sync if either of them are checked.

If they’re both unchecked and you’re still having problems, shoot an email through to support@aeontimeline.com with a copy of both files (if you’re comfortable with that) and we’ll dig into it to see what’s going on.
